DGS-1016A/1024A

16/24-Port Unmanaged Gigabit Switch

Features
Physical
• 16 or 24 Gigabit Ethernet ports for fast network speeds
• Industry-first plastic case for a compact size
• Fanless design for silent operation
Performance
• IEEE 802.3x Flow Control
• Auto MDI/MDI-X crossover for all ports
• Full/half-duplex for Ethernet/Fast Ethernet speeds
• Supports 9,600 Bytes Jumbo Frames
The D-Link DGS-1016A 16-Port Unmanaged Gigabit Switch and the DGS-1024A 24-
Port Unmanaged Gigabit Switch each offer an economical way for SOHO and small
to medium businesses (SMB) to deploy an energy-efficient switch that features the
increased bandwidth of Gigabit ports.
Gigabit on Every Port
The 16/24-Port Unmanaged Gigabit Switch series brings the speed of Gigabit Ethernet
to each and every port for a truly high-speed network. If your network has a mix of
legacy and modern computing capabilities, each port allows for standard Ethernet, Fast
Ethernet, or Gigabit Ethernet connections. You have the latest technology available to
every computer and device connected to your network.

Energy Efficiency Innovative Design

• Innovative D-Link Green Ethernet Technology
conserves energy
• Link status detection reduces power usage
• Cable length detection uses energy more efficiently
• 802.3az EEE hardware implementation reduces
power consumption when usage is low
• D-Link’s Innovative EEE+ provides the same
power-saving benefits of EEE but also provides
compatibility with legacy devices
• RoHS compliant
Easy Installation
• Plug-and-play installation
The sleek plastic case of the DGS-1016A/1024A series is an industry first for a Gigabit
SOHO/SMB switch. Using a compact desktop style helps reduce heat levels and allow
for a fanless design, making the switches silent, as well as economical. The 16/24-Port
Unmanaged Gigabit Switch series is small, lightweight, wall-mountable, and ideal for
any business with big needs and a small budget.
Conserves Energy
The 16/24-Port Unmanaged Gigabit Switch series helps you conserve energy
automatically through several methods. It automatically powers down ports that have
no link, allowing the switch to save substantial amounts of power by cutting power
usage for unused ports or any ports connected to computers that have been shut
down. It can also detect connected cable lengths, and adjusts power usage accordingly,
helping you save energy without affecting networking performance.

Think Green
The DGS-1016A/1024A 16/24-Port Unmanaged Gigabit Switch series makes use of D-Link Green Ethernet technology, providing more energy savings and a
longer product life, without sacrificing operational performance or functionality. These environmentally friendly switches are also RoHS compliant, use recyclable
packaging, and minimize the use of harmful substances.
